Thanks a lot for this fast reply!
Oh now I get what you wanted to Tell me that Breya is your Combo.

Okay if you don't have any copies left then Manalith is okay. But I really recommend Chromatic LanternDarksteel IngotVessel of Endless Rest since they do the same as Manalith and something in addition. Indestructible/Land Fixing/Semi Recursion. If you can get your hands on one of them, put it in :)

Then what do you spend your Infinite Mana on if you don't have acces to Breya (because Imprisoned in the Moon or similar)
They are played very much in my meta.

Gemstone Array if I noticed correctly combo 4 and 5 make colorless mana so this card would make it into colored to cast Breya and could make another wincon straight out the command zone with a sac outlet

I tried some games with this deck (not 1:1 same but very similar) and sometimes I just miss a color to get Breya out :D

Any tipps what hands to keep and what to Mulligan?

Deadeye and Peregrin I'm not sure if I take them out for an artifcat combo
Whir of Invention another good one but triple blue is hard.

Tutor for pieces if you have parts already. But what to tutor if you don't have any pieces ? Isochron reversal or something Else?

@wonderboyrox you bring up some valid points. In my testing the deck has stalled out because of not enough mana. It's one of the reasons I put so much draw in here. Once I get to 3 mana I can use Darksteel Myr to block with a Dead-Iron Sledge. Just having that equipped usually buys me a turn or two. And if I manage to get a Nemesis Mask on him as well that usually buys me enough time to get at least the 5 mana up and running to run the deck.

I do agree that I need some mana ramp or some more effective ways of defending myself earlier; but I would still like to stay colorless for this. I've been considering adding Darksteel Ingot for some more mana, and as another source of mana that survives a Worldslayer. It would open me up to not having to be set up perfectly to use Worldslayer. Do you have any suggestions to help ramp up or defend that are colorless?

Right off the bat there's some automatic includes I like to run in Golgari colors - those cards usually include some powerful effects that can effect the whole board with very little cost to you.

One of the biggest strengths black has is the ability to use what are referred to as Edict effects, which is a reference to a card called Diabolic Edict that forces your opponents to sacrifice creatures. This is powerful because no matter what you will trade a creature of yours for a creature of EACH opponent's - that's a one-for-three trade which gives you a sizable card advantage. Also sacrificing gets through pesky strategies like Indestructible or Hexproof from your opponents' commanders (chances are your opponents are going to try to protect their commanders very well).

For creatures that can do this easily, ordered from most favorite to least, Plaguecrafter, Merciless Executioner/Fleshbag Marauder (they are identical), lastly Slum Reaper. Slum Reaper is a bit more expensive but it's useful if you need more consistency of killing enemy creatures. If you REALLY want to push your opponents' creatures Butcher of Malakir can make sure no creature stays on the battlefield for very long as long as you constantly have creatures to throw into the graveyard.

You also have options in enchantments that can do this effect as well. Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos are solid options, but should only be seriously considered if you're focusing on a sacrifice theme.

Secondly, I like adding sacrifice outlets. They are powerful additions that give you an out whenever you're dealing with targeted or mass creature removal. Ideally you want your sacrifice outlets to be free, so cards like Ashnod's Altar, Altar of Dementia, Carrion Feeder, and Viscera Seer will make sure you never get nothing from a creature dying on your side of the battlefield. Other options that can play well with Vhati il-Dal are Phyrexian Plaguelord who can turn your creatures into a -1/-1 for a creature that you weaken with Vhati's activated ability. If you're going with a creature-focused combat damage strategy Evolutionary Leap and Mycoloth are good options to trade your weaker creatures for more powerful options.

I'll list some overall good cards to add for Golgari colors, as well.
Ramp (Named for Rampant Growth. These are cards that generate more mana for a small investment.)
